I think they look outdated but still good looking...in an old way if that makes sense   
 
Still, serious power can be had for not much ££

Perfect car. 
 
Small 4wd. 2.0 turbo. 
 
So what if it doesnt look totally the part i think they are ok. 
 
Probably one of the best ever cars to come out of Japan and its mostly ignored!

My mates had 2 now, used to let me drive them round all the time, by far one of the best cars i've driven. Imo they look awesome for a standard car and the perfomance is great. But as said if your getting one watch for the gearbox.

Great wee cars. Got a shot of one my dad had for a bit. Handling was amazing. steering and power were very responsive aswell. Loved the seats and interior aswell
